his reallyearly morning sidekick leftie hopped deftly up onto the bed at his feet scurriedup between his legs onto his body and laidout full length on top him for him to scratch her chin stroke her sides shoulders her spine itd been going on for months  her routine   his 

                                     he liked routines     

her purring pickingup her body going limp as she began to fall asleep he took a couple deliberate deepbreaths and went to see if he could catchup with her

eyes closed inside them darkeningdarkeninglying there   the word receipt occurred to him

thered been a lot of talkinghead remarking receipts  lots of courts had deliberated and were handing down sentences to the guilty having determined their justified retribution  providing them their due

before everything went completely blackbefore  he was absorbedabsolved hypnagogic hallucinations which wasnt really true   there is neither hypnagogic nor hypnopompic hallucinations for a lucid dreamer they may pick a place a time characterskick things off  but beyond those introductions GAME ON  all his doing

right up to the last breath  maybe moments longer if their last breath is recognised                                                                                  

Deathtination  deserved its capitalisation

 

It was a mansion  and while the host wanted everyoneall the pretty people to accompany him to the stateroomthe host looked like himwas him he laughed like a mischievous boy and tuggingfree his tie he sprinted up the wide staircase smelling bathsalts in hot water flushed female flesh . . .
